Bhubaneswar Overall ranking history
Explore Bhubaneswar institutions in the published NIRF Overall lists by year. Every rank below is a national category rank, not a position within Bhubaneswar. A lower rank number is better.
Comparisons use the preceding available Overall edition and the state and city recorded in each year's list. Newly listed means absent from the previous Bhubaneswar list, not necessarily a first NIRF appearance. Absence does not establish why an institution is missing, and movement alone does not explain changes in quality.
